2012 Audi A6 isn’t something new to us and we have met the vehicle many times. However, there were suspicions about its looks, but with its reveal at 2011 NAIAS things are in the clear light of the day. From the appearance and a word from Audi officials, it becomes clear that brand has gone beyond limits to keep it aesthetically true to the conventional gas-powered model.
Propelling the hybrid car is Audi’s 2.0-liter turbocharged, direct-injected gasoline engine blended with an electric motor that generates 45hp and 155 pound-feet of torque to offer an estimated fuel economy of 37.94 mpg. Engine is mated to eight speed Tiptronic gearbox that sends power to the front wheels. Electric motor gets vital juice from a modest 1.3 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack located in the trunk to generate 39 kW.
The hybrid vehicle can reach up to 62mph on purely electric motivation with a pure electric range of 3km and a combined fuel economy of 38miles per gallon. A6 can operate on purely gasoline only mode or can bled two fuel sources. The hybrid car also features a regenerative braking system, with unique instrumentation to indicate whether the system is charging or discharging its lithium ion battery. There is no word as to when this new model will go on sale. The base price is expected to be 38,500 Euros.
